That was exactly my point at the last clug meeting... if as a group of 
40 we got off our collective arse and did something then we'd make a 
huge dent really fast now that the technology is so cheap...  you could 
count your investment as less than $100 if usb stuff.

Problem is that I can't see the clug group or anyone else getting 
interested enough to do it... can you?

I'm going to start playing with some other usb antenna this week.
